I haven't found a single scientific proof to prove that atheists exist. I've seen plenty of anecdotal evidence but no solid proof. So all you argumentative no-God-loving types should stand up and show proof they exist. Bonus points for showing proof God doesn't exist.
Claiming you're an atheist is anecdotal. I want real, solid, and scientific proof sustainable in a laboratory environment.
For the record, I do believe in God. I have my private reasons for that. I don't, however, have any qualms whatsoever with people who don't believe. The bible doesn't do it for me, though. My own bible has just two words in it: Be Nice.
Arti, you have confused me< you dont believe the Bible, so where do you find this God of yours?
Im an Atheist, I dont need a bible to tell me to be nice" I have morals unrelated to any God or book, My Mother taught me. My Mother was far superior to any God, Why? she had never killed anyone or promoted death in any way shape or form she has never supported slavery or condoned it. She was just a lovely warm person, unfortunately she is now deceased.
Life is so much nicer when you dont need a God to tell you what is right and wrong, when you can take the credit yourself.
if it's all anecdotal, and everyone's looking for proof, I'm struggling to decide whether or not to stand up and be counted as an atheist or stand up and be counted as god. Seeing as god doesn't actually do anything other than 'acts' which are subjectively interpreted, I could actually be god!! Go me!
Pa_ul you could be. If I pray to you I would get exactly the same result as I would do praying to god. If I call on you to smite my enemies or cure the sick I would get unsmitten enemies and people still sick.
We've been thorough this before. None of you exist, you are all figments of my imagination. And reading thought Answerbank I have proof I must be going slowly nuts. (I must stop eating cheese before bedtime, I'm sure that's what does it.)
Davethedog, why do you insult me so, I am a far nicer person than this God you speak of, if you ask for my help, it is possible than you will get it, if you ask this God character for help, it is impossible that he,it, will help you.
Many people have a deeply felt need for some kind of God/power of life and death to believe in. With or without scientific proof, I cannot help feeling there must be something else besides this life. If belief brings peace of mind then so be it and don't deny it to others.
As I have always understood it - the essence of a belief in God is faith - the concept of belief without proof.
Atheism - and i am an aetheist - is simply an absence of that belief, rather than a contrary blelief that God does NOT exist.
As far as I am concerned, death is the end - nothing afterwards.
If however I am pleasantly surprised to find that God does exist, then as a good person, he will embrace me and bring me into his kingdom, so really, I have all bases covered.
